1. Their Blood Be On Us
For over a thousand yearsThey fought against the conquerorsMasses of human breedsThreatened them by water and earthIn the fields of sorrowSo many lost...The time had comeOf gods beware...The stars of honour led their wayAs the moons reached the groundThe spirits gathered and came forthInvincible knowledge...You belong to usIn the fields of sorrowSo many lost...The time had comeOf gods beware......Perpetual remembrance...In the memory of those who died...For the blood that had been spilled...Their name marksThe way to the skies
2. I Am The Unknown Sky
The past... so harshThe memoriesSo real... so painfulCome and take meI'm reaching my end...Falling...The oblation to ceaseAs I dieI trust myself in hands of deathThe sky I embraceOn golden wingsI am the unknown skyThe realmsOf love and hateGrief and joy...Sins...Sins, I'm made of...And darkened dreamsMy darkened eyesMy darkened dreams...Sins...Your arms are openI gaze insideThe night stands restlessShe feels the signs...Of my sins...
3. Until The Night Crise Rise In The Heart
Burn the sky for meAnd I'll seal the folds of your sighsI'll inhale the embers of my pyreWhen the stars will culminateI am now provoking the fireOn dark the shadow I createI sat at the edge of my sightAnd looked over the sea of thineYou dwelled into my eveYour caress sung to my desireHow bitter that autumn nightAngels (still) weep forMy feeble existenceDreamt of leavesFalling from my armsA poet's vision... a broken glassBreathless now and anxiousOf desires full of hateThus I seek the ocean's soulIn my era I had claimedMy demons' shameful fantasies(Thy) triumphant sun is slaveEngraved in the dusk's eclipseThe scented roses dieSeduction... oh the primal aimAs if in nature's tasksSome words are spoken when in loveThe night cries in your heart
4. ...And The Everdawn Faded Away
As the moon cries over meAnd the soul mourns the light of dayI will come to search for theeOn every mountain, in every seaOh gods observe the bridge of the rainAs she falls...She wears the winter's veilRoseat wind... midnight wraithThou wilt weep... Thou wilt witherI will come to search for theeOn every mountain, in every seaOh gods observe the bridge of the rainAs she falls...She wears the winter's veilOh sombre... celestial warsOh everdawn... Immortal lossOh mother... your very eyes ascend
5. Shall They Come Forth Unto Us
As the oceans swallowThe might of forgotten erasAnd the shadows growWith the early coming of winterThe skies hide their azure mantlesAs the encrimsoned glimmerLeaves the day behindThe crown of the scarlet eveEmbraces the horizonThe skies hide their azure mantlesAn aura of a culture lostThe heritage of an unbridled wisdomContemplationOf the harmonious infinityImperishable passionThe dust of the centuriesSeeks the rays of a desired utopiaAs the moonlight growsThe unknown seems so grimThe skies hide their azure mantlesThroughout the misty landscapesBeyond the fiery shoresThe echoes from them breathingThe woods whisper their song
6. Arcana Caelestia
...In midnight fogThe wolves foretell a storyThe ones have passed the silver wallsAnd gaze beyond the grey horizonsAcross the end... the end of lightThe spheres are gathering so closeDawn! Of witchcraft's gloryNight! The ravenous moon awaitsSovereignty!A vision of the bitter endDeclare to us the things to comeDescended from the unknown fieldsAnd through the misty cloudsTheir eyes are blazing in the darkThey own the secrets of the starsIcons of obscurityBring forth the ancient thrillThe howl's spread the despairPenitence is drawing nearAghasted nightly creaturesTheir heaven need to claimGrievousness... UnholinessAre about to be raised
7. The End Shall Be Tragically Fulfilled
Mother thunder heal my heartAs the night falls...The dark is gone... no moreMother thunder feel my bloodAs the sun rises...My veins are cold... no moreThe endless forests of my heartIn silence... slow... they witherI lie down as one with sorrowI wish I was never trueEverything and nothingThe magic lost its touchMy heaven's so tiredI'm leaving...Whatever appeared in front of meWill now be pastThe portrait of my lifeA shadow among othersWeakness I feelI know it's time...My will has left meThe tragedy lasted for so longBut now it's over... forever gone
8. The Last Star of Heaven Falls
9. Wither, Oh Divine, Wither
The eyes of mine...Oh the beauty withinOf the far away forgotten landsOne shall remain untouchedThe era unfolds its silenceSo bright... so sadSo majestic... all goneThy silky scentWither, oh divine, witherTake me with you... take me awayLonging for the million sunsOh the sorrowfilled chantsThe echoes are still breathingI can see me right upon the skyReflecting my cast... in bitternessI dwell within your touchThy silky scentWither, oh divine, witherTake me with you... take me awayHave I not whispered thy name?Have I not cried for thee?Thy silky scentWither, oh divine, witherTake me with you... take me awayThe puppets were dancingThe dance is overThe mirror I seeRevealed the endThe end of what is theeUnder my pity I grow
